I agree, fusible on the underside might help make the entire quilt stronger, less flexible but stronger. Its not perfect you can patch a piece or two over the top of the shredded ones, ripping seams seems like danger zone to me once you start.. you could be starting all over and then its not your grandmothers quilt is it? Good luck and enjoy it. I think its a pretty one.
Thanks Elisabrat for pointing out that it is Moms to do with as she pleases. She uses the quilts I have made her in the past - but I will have to made her understand that this is a very special situation and ggm's quilt won't "play" like the others.
Yes, stabilizer! I think I will reposition those few blocks that make the top uneven and square it up. That will keep with the spirit of ggm's quilt; something I REALLY want to do.
Thank you for leading me to see it through YOUR eyes.
